I have always enjoyed trying some of the restaurants and pubs in London recommended by folks on this forum. They’ve always been great, so now I am putting together a list of a few good places to eat - nothing too fancy - but tried and true near the Regent’s Park, particularly after leaving the open air theater area of the park. We have tickets to see Cats in September (a matinee) and would like to go to eat somewhere afterwards. Any suggestions within walking distance or a short tube, bus ride away? Thanks so much!

Here are a few recommendations to start your list:
- You will not be too far from Camden Market. Tons of good food options there.
- Near Camden Market, Poppies Fish and Chips. This casual fish and chip restaurant has made some Top 10 Lists in London. (I have not been here but this has popped up in a few posts on here).
- Dishoom Carnaby. Dishoom has a few locations in London and is highly rated Indian Food.
- The Globe. This pub is pretty close to the open air theater. This is a Greene King pub. Cool interior, good ale selection, and decent pub fare.
- Easton Tap. If the weather is decent and you fancy a high quality beer, head here. I love this place. I don’t think they serve food as the interior is small but they have a large outdoor area. This place has a great beer menu though. If you are not too particular about the ale that you drink, I guess you can skip this place but the beer on offer here is top shelf.
- The Victoria Paddington. This is a little farther out (about 1 1/2 miles) but this is a great pub. Great, old time interior. The owner and staff are very friendly and I would classify their food as higher end pub fare.

It's at the other end of the park (near Primrose Hill), but I really like The Albert, we go for Sunday roast sometimes and it's very good: https://thealbertprimrosehill.co.uk/

OP any idea which tube station you’ll arrive at and depart from?
What’s a short tube ride to you? 2 or 3 stops? 10-20 minutes? Same with a bus?
How about walking distance? 15-20 minutes?
There a numerous options depending on your way of travel.
If you like fish the Sea Shell at Lisson Grove is
is a 25 minute stroll.
If you want pub grub the Kings Head on the corner of Wheatley and Westmoreland Street.
Believe you can still get Tapas at the Queens Head and Artichoke which is a 10-15 minute walk from the park.

Thanks to all who have offered suggestions. :)
Claudia, I would imagine Baker Street will be the station we’ll leave from as it is mentioned as being the closest. We have all evening after the show to spend, so also thinking about after dinner activities before heading back to our hotel. We could walk, 20 -25 minutes or so? Tube or bus a few stops. We’re going to be staying at 63 Bayswater (I have wanted to try this place bc of all of the positive reviews), so maybe toward that direction? Any ideas?

We love fish, so just looked up The SeaShell of Lisson Grove. It’s a 22 min.walk from the outdoor theater. That might be just right. One of the things I want to do is walk around Marylebone as well. Haven’t spent much time in that area of London.
